[TRANS] “The JYJ” Magazine Vol. 2: My Dear The JYJ

To be together no matter what, sharing the joys as well as the sorrows. When bearing a friend’s pain together, even if the tears shed are the same, your own pain is actually more acute than your friend’s.–
Jaejoong and Junsu said, “We cried the most for Yuchun.”

Last March, when Yuchun’s father passed away, they shed more tears than Yuchun. Although Yuchun was part of the bereaved family, he could not keep crying and grieving.–JJ: “I really cried a lot. Yuchun’s father passed away, but Yuchun had to receive all the people who came to pay their respects, so he forced himself to suppress his grief and be very strong to receive everyone. Seeing him like that, my heart was in so much pain it felt like it would split apart. I wanted to cry it all out for him. He just kept fighting back his tears, suppressing his sorrow. But I was so helpless, there was nothing I could do for him, I could only cry.”

JS: “While gently comforting him and telling him, ‘Be strong’, I was also thinking I must stay by Yuchun always to keep watch over him. From the mourning hall to the cemetery, looking at Yuchun’s silhouette from the back, I couldn’t hold it back any more and I cried. When we were giving a silent tribute to his father who is in eternal rest, I was holding Yuchun and saying, “Be strong,” but I knew at these times words are useless and so my heart was in even more pain.”–
Yuchun and Junsu who are of the same age, and Jaejoong who is one year older (T/N: by Korean age. All are born in 1986). Their relationship is more than just friendship; they are family and have become one. To the degree that they specially understand one another.–
Jaejoong can see through Yuchun and Junsu to deep within their hearts. Because they have been together through such a long period of time, what they are thinking can be known without saying a word.–JJ: “For Yuchun, just based on feeling, I will know. If his thoughts and actions are not in line, I will know at once. Junsu also, I can see through him at a glance. But conversely, they probably don’t really know what I’m thinking?!”–
But! Jaejoong’s thinking is wrong!–JS: “120% I know! Just looking at his expression and behaviour, I will know if he is in a good or bad mood, or if there is something troubling him, I know it all! I will ask him why he said those words and I will ask in detail.”–
As such, there are no secrets between them. They cannot cover it up even if they wanted to. Even those times when the heart throbs because of one-sided love that you absolutely do not want anyone to know about.

JS: “Whatever I’m doing, they know it all. Even love. If I count, there are 5? I am very open and clear but the other 2 don’t really say, hahaha!–YC: “I’ve had one-sided love before. But before I could tell my members, it was realised. I like older women that I can talk and connect with, those with clear thoughts. I see them as real women from age 30 onwards. I think even at 40, my thinking will not change.–
Said without any hesitation. Yuchun does not hide himself when he is with his members. But if there is something about them that he does not know, he will not pursue it. At these times, he says, “Do I really have to know that? I don’t think that I want to know everything. Each person has his own things to pursue, the way of living is also different. I feel that knowing everything may not necessarily be good. If you have to know everything, every single movement, that is your own willful and selfish desire, isn’t it?”–
From Yuchun’s words, it is also expressed that the members have built very deep trust among them. Not just knowing the situation at once by sensing the other’s breath, even if they don’t intentionally look and intentionally try to know, they will naturally understand one another. Just like that, the deep bond of trust like brothers, much more than friends, they will continue to run on from here. While keeping watch over Yuchun when he had to bear his greatest sorrow in the world, the tears that flowed from Jaejoong and Junsu must be the most beautiful crystals in the world.

Nothing is more precious in life than having family and good friends who are by your side to share your sorrows and your joy. I am deeply touched and yet heartened by the immense love JYJ members have for one another. These are the strong bonds of friendship and brotherhood that will remain unbroken even with all the obstacles and hindrances thrown onto their paths.

Aww this was so beautiful and it really touched my heart! What JS, JJ, YC have is real, true, loving friendship/brotherhood!! That is not always easy to find and hold onto. I just love their deep friendship and I hope they stay together forever!!!!!

Hence the tattoos on JJ and Yoochunnie. If Junsu would get a tattoo… IF… he did probably get one with JYJ’s name on it too~
JYJ jjang! They are close and I believe they don’t really need to put up a front on camera. They are just the way they are and even if there is any awkwardness between them in front of the general public’s eyes, I think they do have a common connection deep down inside. Like friends who have been together for nearly half of their lives, I believe they are definitely closer than others can imagine. I have three childhood friends too and they are no doubt the most valuable to me even though we might be apart after hitting adulthood and have other friends from all walks of life. I hope they stay good to one another even if they were to stop performing one day.

I was more touched here and tried my best to hold my tears while reading this article, than the drama anthology that I was watching at the same time….hahaha
Ahhh…JYJ you’ve really introduce me to the different fields of emotion:
– HAPPINESS and GRATITUDE coz I had the chance to know you (even if meeting you in person is impossible)
– SADNESS, ANGER, DISAPPOINTMENT & HOPELESSNESS (sometimes) due to what you have to endure just because of the
existence of LOW LEVEL CREATURES who can’t live in the path of righteousness
– LOVE, EXCITEMENT, PASSION, ENJOYMENT because of your unselfish way of sharing your amazing talents
Thank you JYJ for all of these!
And what I consider the best thing about you is that… you’d thought me to be strong whatever hardships i will encounter; to be firm and stand on my ground even if that means many will take their back on me just to bring truth to life; and to trust wholeheartedly my friends who never leave me.
Wooooooooooooooohhhhhhhh….. I LOVE YOU JYJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don’t usually put emotional comments here ; but I feel I need to say this!
this article is like a savior for me, just these few couple of days I was really having some headaches about this trio , I’ve never doubted their friendship nor the way they’re close to each other, but even with that belief I got swayed by SOME fans (and I mean really fans not antis) who start commenting about JYJ are starting to move away from each other giving a reason of: Jae is having his full time with other friends, Jun living his solo career , Chun sinking in his own world… I always say does it really matter to show how deep your friendship is? do they always need to hug each other and take pics with each other to say “HEY WE’RE FRIENDS WE LOVE EACH OTHER” ? do they really need to prove even that to keep their fans’ trust?
now when I read this my heart felt so relieved ! what an idiot I was to even care what others are saying while I’m only concern with JYJ! I promise from now on I won’t get swayed by anything that doesn’t come from them!
My dearest Jaejoong, My sweet beloved Junsu, My lovely Yoochun I love you so much!I’ll support you no matter what, be it as a group be it as solo artists! May with your friendship last forever ♥

Your comment really touched my heart, sometimes this fandom and the antis really hurt me. Sadly it’s all too easy to believe the bad things isn’t it! Its so easy to be swayed by negativity and false friends and to absorb the lies and distorted half truths they tell. But those people only want to bring us down so they can feel better about themselves. They feed off unhappiness. It’s so tiring this utter nonsense and every time we get some good news some bad news seems to follow right behind.
I think that we are all fine, JYJ are fine and the true fans are fine too. We just can’t let these losers grinds us down.
Big hugs to you HaKima, AKTF in JYJ and us.

I call it the Trinity what God put together let no man take apart 1 spirit three voices, three ties are stronger then one like a marriage made in heaven do not take my words wrong but this way a three corded rope is harder to break then a single cord they have been thru excuse me for this hell and back emotionally spiritually and physically in the past taking a toll on them but do to standing together now and in the future they will not be broken. Darts and arrows they may throw but the shield of righteousness will protect them. Love our boys. Stay forever corded.

its truly a friendship to admire and envy. to be on a spiritual level is very special and will bind them together through their earthly journey. no wonder they are so strong and have made it this far. the force of 3 is so much stronger than 1 could be. this makes them a source of strength and comfort and inspiration for their fans, at least for me. this kind of friendship=they could be apart for years yet instantly close when reunited and continue on as though they never were apart. that is what those special few friends are.

They basically GROW UP together, they’re a team and I think their greatest FIGHT is getting out from SM.
Yes they are JYJ, but I think fans should not pressure them to stay/perform as JYJ together forever. Each is super talented and they are getting matured and are finding their individual path which give them the sense of fulfillment and identity according to each strength. If they choose to walk on separate path (just like now), it’s nothing to feel sorry or sad about. As long as they can say hello and smile to each other when they meet, then it’s all good. Even parents/children or siblings are separated when they grow older but when they feel like having a reunion or getting back together, they can do so with great excitement.

*Even parents/children or siblings are separated when they grow older but when they feel like having a reunion or getting back together, they can do so with great excitement.*
I agree, as long as the name JYJ are attached to them forever, just like a surname for every family member.
🙂

JYJ… thank you for being a role model to share the meaning of the unconditional love. Praying that the three of you guys are always happy, healthy, and successful. Sending all my love for the three of you..! LOVE you all!
